    I've never heard it called a "mini" RECCE, but apparently I own one.

    VLTOR MUR Upper
    Noveske 14.5" Afghan Barrel

    Shot the Coyote off the top of a round bale (SHE was on the round bale, not me) at about 150-175 yds facing directly toward me. Nailed her straight in the chest. She was a chicken thief and got what was coming to her.

    I'm not sure that's solid logic for starting a picture thread here, but what evs.

    Precision guns? So throwing a variable power optic on any barrel length AR makes it a precision gun?

    It can get really argumentative about what constitutes a precision gun (does a heavy stainless-barreled AR15 with a high-power scope even count?) but I think 1-nx scopes on ARs are really pushing the boundaries of what the platform is capable of. I don't know how you necessarily define a precision gun but I think by some measures a 1-nx scope on a solid-shooting AR-15 with match ammo can almost get there. With our 12.5" AR with Burris XTR 2 1-5x scope we can shoot sub-MOA groups (we shot a .65 MOA 5-shot group during load testing) and get decent hits on a dude-sized steel target at 843 yards. With our 16" AR with Leupold MK6 1-6x, we can get decent hits on a dude-sized steel at 907 yards and successfully engage MOA-sized targets to a few hundred yards. Glass quality, magnification range, and reticles on LPV scopes have really come a far way. I know before the MK6 I really needed a DM/SPR type AR15 with 9 or 10x on the top-end to hit MOA-sized steels as greyed steels can make tough targets IMHO. But with better and better 1-nx scopes coming out, maybe an AR that shoots well with a LPV on top can be a precision gun, or almost there.

    Does a precision gun require a certain length barrel?

    No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

    John Noveske is quoted as saying that his 12.5 crusader barrels were probably his most accurate barrel because they had great harmonics because they were short but thick. Yeah a 24 inch barrel will have way more velocity but that doesn't always equate to accuracy. Like stated before you can have an accurate gun with a shorter barrel, it doesn't have to be an 18 inch gun. This thread is for people to show off their guns, and talk about their guns. Yeah a 4-16 is going to be easier to print small groups than a 1-4 or 1-6 but depending on the reticle, load and shooter that 12.5 1-4 carbine can beat an 18 inch 2.5-10 rifle.
